Geological Change

I dreamt that it was the beginning of the world as well as the end but with a new start, and I was helping organize new territory on the planet. The earth’s core also was commanded to reform, which it did.

I think this symbolizes real changes to earth that will occur at the commencement of the Millennium.

June 5 – Shiloh and Bros

I also dreamt of a contest between a good team, which my mind represented as Shiloh and Bros, and an evil team over control of a large map with cities and resources. Shiloh apparently has the gift of prophecy, which she uses to bring her team victory. At the climax, when the points for both teams were tied, the good team gathered together and each of its members swore to do that which was right, resulting in their eyes changing color to blue. I was under the impression that this change would grant the good team the requisite strength and authority to win, and in the scene I then zoomed in on Shiloh’s eyes to see that they were blue-green.

To this, the evil team leader then said that he also has the gift of prophecy and knows what to do to win. This leader then led his team into an assembly along one of the coasts, in which they had their own covenant. In it, they each swore to do evil and fight for evil and destroy the good, causing the eyes of the bad team members to turn red. They also had their own demonic “baptisms”, and they believed that this would cause their side to win.

Discussion

This dream symbolizes the great game and contest between good and evil that will unfold throughout the great tribulation. The good team swearing to good represents how the 144,000 will be physically transfigured, whereas the bad team changing to have red eyes represents how the truly demonic nature of the forces of the adversary across the world will be manifested during this time. And the map represents how this competition will somewhat be for control of the globe.

The ideas in this dream parallel Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive, which also involves righteous soldiers who are physically transformed to be able to fight during the end of the world, of which transformation includes their eyes changing to be blue. I think there is a lot of symbolism in this series to the end times, which makes sense because Brandon Sanderson is Mormon.

Confirmation

On the day of receiving this dream, I watched for the first time Shiloh and Bro’s Pokemon In Real Life 2, and found it to have similarities.

For example, just like in my dream, the villain at the start of this video falsely prophecies that his side will win, and we find that his eyes were glowing an unnatural color (in the video the color was yellow, not red). Also, the video had a scene at 12:14 zooming in on Shiloh’s eyes, which reminded me of the dream.

In general, the idea of the series is that Pokémon upgrade their form based on their desire and inspiration to good – echoing the idea of righteous soldiers being transfigured when they fully commit to being saints. On the other hand, the Pokémon of the villains resembled demonic entities, thus symbolizing how evil humans and demonic entities work together in our fallen world. If you watch the video, you will also see that the aims of the villains echo that of Satan.

I guess I view Brandon Sanderson and Shiloh and Bros both as content creators who are inspired in their work to symbolize spiritually important things. These two stand out against an ocean of degeneracy in media – both in publications and film.
